Champions Online (PC)

It is hard to imagine that the industry once believed superhero games were somehow cursed. If curses do exist -- and they most assuredly do not -- then the curse upon superhero games is long gone, on vacation on some tropical island with its wife...

This review is based on a final build of the PC game provided by the publisher.

Champions Online Review

Champions Online is one of the best MMO releases in years that will wow you with its character creator

Champions makes sure you're having fun right out of the gate rather than having to struggle for two months through boredom to level up your character. It's a solid MMO that will serve as a good diversion from WoW, but only time will tell if it has the...

Champions Online Review

Best character creation in any MMO; fast and often tactical twitch-based combat; enjoyable, albeit barebones PvP; did I mention character creation

Just enough missions and zones to get by; convoluted crafting; little potential for a tight-knit community

Champions Online

Tons of action and silliness ; Very different from City of Heroes ; You're awesome from level 1

First few hours are miserable ; Fiddly interface ; Very little high-level content for now

Champions Online is an unusual game. It’s quite broken in many ways, but it quickly grows on you, and becomes surprisingly endearing. It doesn’t always make itself easy to like, and it’ll die on the vine unless it gets more areas to quest in and...

Champions Online

Cryptic's super-powered MMO comes out strong but still has plenty of room to grow.

While it's still far too early to render a verdict on the game's long term potential, Champions Online has definitely won us over on the strength of a few key features. The combat is fun, the settings are varied and there's lots of content to explore....
